Buy with rebuild or...?
In July i'll be getting rid of my Honda Accord (finally...). My budget is $5000 and after doing some consideration, i've decided i'll be getting one of my (affordable) dream cars, the FC3S. I've been in love with this car since I was young I finally have the chance to get one.
After searching autotrader.com and ebay, i've run into a fork in the road. Should I buy a car with a recently rebuilt engine (probably more expensive at first), or should I get one with the stock engine and wait to see what happens (probably more expensive in the long run).
Did anyone here buy their FC with a newly rebuilt engine? If so, how's it workin' out for you?
Or did you buy yours with the stock engine? Have you had to rebuild it yet?
So, in short:
1) Buy car with newly rebuilt engine
2) Buy car with stock engine, wait to see if it blows
Thanks in advance

Well for me it's like this:
I'd rather drive a car with a engine rebuilt by someone who knows what the hell they are doing, possibly with some slight porting for fun. But if I were to buy one , I'd want it stock that way I could have it rebuilt by someone from these boards that know what the heck they are doing.
On rotary engines I wouldn't trust any car that says rebuilt unless they have the paperwork to back it up that it was rebuilt by someone good. Otherwise find one with a good body, and ship that engine to rotaryresurrection
